Members of All Elite Wrestling's crew of Executive Vice Presidents contacting WWE to test the waters has become a hot-button topic in the wake of the All Out 2022 brawl, though The Young Bucks have moved to deny the rumours.

Reporting on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that Matt and Nick Jackson have denied sending feelers to WWE. This doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't happen, just that the duo has claimed it didn't, but the Jacksons have claimed that the original story wasn't true.

It was initially reported that the Bucks had contacted WWE to indicate they'd be willing to listen to offers upon their AEW contracts expiring on 1 January 2024.

Meltzer claimed that when he asked the Bucks about the "feeling out" speculation, they were surprised that it had even become a story. Despite this, rumours continue to swirl around the AEW and WWE locker rooms.

The Bucks are currently serving an AEW suspension following All Out 2022, where they are alleged to have partaken in a backstage brawl also involving CM Punk and Ace Steel. AEW has commissioned a third-party investigation into the matter.
